General Information & Features

﻿In the area of LP gas measurement, a magnetic drive feature is important because the fluid is stored under pressure. A magnetic drive allows a signal from the float mechanism inside the tank to be transmitted through a solid, non-magnetic bulkhead without the necessity of dynamic seals or
pressure-type conductors.

Previous designs of liquid level gauges for magnetically driven dials which produced an electrical output signal had the disadvantages inherent in using variable resistors with a wiper arm contact. There has been a need for a more reliable and simplified design for these LP gas liquid-level gauges that would provide an electrical output related to the liquid level in the vessel.

Magnetoresistance is a solid state technology with no moving contacts. Magnetoresistance is the property of a material to change the value of its electrical resistance when an external magnetic field is applied. Microchip technology converts the resistance change to a useable voltage signal.

The MR Magnetel® Dial is advantageous in that it can be used as a retrofit on existing vessels to provide an electrical output that can be utilized for remote monitoring of tank levels. With remote monitoring of tank levels, distributors of LP gas will be able to more efficiently plan deliveries to various consumers.

﻿WARNING! This sensor is not to be used as the primary means of determining high or low fuel condition. It must not be used in the absence of redundant systems in critical applications where there may be significant safety risk or financial exposure in the event of fuel overfill or fuel exhaustion condition. This sensor is not to be used for tank filling.

WARNING! For LP-Gas and other flammable product service applications, connect only to circuits and power sources classified and labeled as Intrinsically Safe for Class 1, Division 1, Group C and D hazardous locations.
The connection of non-intrinsically safe power could cause fire or explosion of flammable vapor which may be present.
